    What’s you favorite hat flavor?..

    This guy seems to be so intent on sticking to his guns no matter what, that I wouldn’t be surprised if he became the first one to actually get some consequences. It is a big club indeed, but rule one of the club is to keep the appearances; he’s breaking that with pretty much every word he says.

      We let literal war criminals walk. Bush and Cheney are still viewed favorably by people and walk around as thought they weren’t architects of an illegal war and illegal torture of prisoners of war on top of countless pointless deaths.

      People acted like it was “cute” when Bush shared candy with Michelle Obama. No, it was sick propaganda meant to normalize a war criminal in the public eye.

      I don’t know what to tell you, the past informs the present. If you think the system will protect war criminals but won’t protect Trump, I think you’re naive.

        Those are apples and oranges. Yes busy and Cheney should face the consequences of their action. But this time you have to consider just how public this is. Regardless of the outcome, I don’t see people being quiet this time and that’s going to force a hand. Bush and Cheney didn’t go on tv every day denying what they did, they just stayed quiet. Trump cannot stay quiet. Trump is not a politician and refuses to play by even the Republicans rules.
